Thanks Emy ... but I still see only one title listed under Kent G. Deng's name. "Kent G. Deng" is how this author identifies himself at LSE where he teaches; he's also listed this way in the university library catalog I consulted. Gang Deng is his Chinese name.

The author appears to have published some books under one name and some under the other. I put links on each profile to the other, but I don't see any reason they should be merged.

Those links are certainly helpful - thanks, rivka.

Just as an afterthought and to get a clearer understanding of Goodreads policy - I would note the following:

this author is listed in two different ways for the same book:

By the same logic, wouldn't merging also be justified for Kent G. [Gang] Deng?
